The Electronic Grants System (EGS)
EGS is a Government-owned, contractor-operated mission-support business system designed to address core functions of biomedical research portfolio and awards management needs for CDMRP and other organizations. It stores biomedical research proposal and award data as well as files including contracting, regulatory, administrative, and other relevant information. EGS has many functional components designed to automate administrative processes including proposal management, awards management, regulatory review, program management, and program evaluation. A number of system-to-system interfaces facilitate interactions and data transfers with external systems owned and operated by contractors and other agencies. It supports multiple electronic/online workflows, including progress report reviews, award negotiations, regulatory review and approval, product management, and website data management. EGS currently supports 550 users and contains 152,000 proposal records, 26,000 award records and over 10,000 regulatory protocols. On an annual basis, an average of 10,000 new proposals are created, 9800 active awards are managed with 1000 new awards initiated.
EGS is a web-based application supported by a database back-end. The primary technologies utilized by EGS are VMWare ESC, Linus OS, Java-JDK, Grails, Hibernate, JavaScript front-end technologies such as Angular and React, PostgreSQL database, and Apache Tomcat-outputting HTML, JSON, XML, CSV, XLS, and static files…
